  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Spreading lies about pro-life laws is not only unjust and immoral, but also dangerous to women.

While questioning Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s nominee for secretary of Health and Human Services, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., implied that pro-life state laws do not allow physicians to provide emergency treatment for incomplete miscarriages.

Cortez Masto’s line of questioning followed a familiar playbook. Since the Dobbs decision in 2022, the abortion lobby, with the help of sympathetic media outlets, have created confusion with the intent of turning Americans against pro-life laws, falsely alleging that they will not allow critical medical care in pregnancy emergencies. They then point to examples of poor-quality medical care that caused harm to pregnant women as proof of their assertions.

As an obstetrician-gynecologist practicing in Texas for more than 30 years, I have practiced when few restrictions existed on elective abortion, and when abortion limits have been enforced. I would like to set the record straight.

The doctor is not a lawyer. She does not say she went over every state law that has been enacted since Dobbs.
There must because reason why OBGYNS are leaving certain states and why medical students are shunning that specialty. There must be a reason for the shortages that exist in many red states.
I am sure this doctor is well intentioned but she has a skill set that isn't a good match for the task at hand.
